LAFAYETTE CLUB CONCERT.
A fair sized audience was greatly
pleased with the entertainment
given by the Lafayette College
Glee and Mandolin Clubs in the
Normal Auditorium last Tuesday
night. The work of the clubs was
excellent throughout, and the
pianist, C. E. Straub is a perform
er of unusual ability. If any criti
cism is to be made it is that he
played the accompaniments for the
singing too loud, probably not
realizing the great power of the
grand piano with the lid up.
The quartette was fine, and was
recalled several times. The bass
solo by Mr. Spengler was among
the best numbers on the program.
At the singing of "Alma Mater"
by the combined clubs, all the
Lafayette men in the audience
stood up.
A reception was given to the
clubs and Lafayette Alumni in the
gymnasium after the concert, by
the Christian Associations of the
school.
